@rilian DeathClan needed to be reformed. Rose remembered back when she was a kit, and queens told nursery terrifying stories of how the awful DeathClan cats would eat them if they didn't behave. Now, DeathClan was a joke. They'd lived as neighbors with IceClan for moons, and did nothing. Clearly, since Drought's death, the group of rogues and loners had no strong leader, and it didn't seem like anyone was about to step up.
Rose pondered what she would do next, and how she would move up in DeathClan's ranks. Not many cats knew that she was a former IceClan cat, which was nice. No one would take a deserter seriously.
The brown and cream tabby found herself in the Plains, the moon rising in the sky. From a few tree-lengths away Rose spotted an unfamiliar cat standing alone, and padding closer, tasted a bitterly familiar scent.
"I thought you all went back to the mountains, clan-cat. What, did you get left behind?" Rose asked sharply, her icy blue eyes narrowed.

I do not know where I come from, I do not know where I'm going  rilian had been minding her own business, checking out new places and meeting unfamiliar cats. she didn't realize that so many could be so stuck up sometimes.
and yet, she kept dreaming. she was jarred from that dream by a piercing comment. rilian looked her over with the most judgemental face she could muster.
"um, no." she responded bluntly, scoring her mind for a good comeback. but then, what had snowwhisper told her? make more allies, and less enemies. she didn't want the first cat she met in the plains to be an enemy. so, instead of snapping back, she smiled, though it was a bit forced. "i'm rilian..." that also sounded forced.
come on, you used to be nicer, she thought, and this is when it mattered. she tried a nicer smile, showing no teeth. this cat would think she was a whimp. well, if she wanted a fight, rilian would give her some scars for her money. I only know, that if I continue, I will not be able to return |

Rose bit back a growl, her long claws digging into the cold ground beneath her. She was quiet for a few moments, looking over the she-cat, analyzing her carefully. She didn't look much older than an apprentice, and clearly wasn't very sure of herself, meaning that if Rose decided to attack, it wouldn't be much of a fight. Even in the dull lighting, Rose's toned muscles rippled visibly beneath her pelt.
She relaxed slightly, her voice still cold and harsh. "Tell me, Rilian, why do you reek of IceClan scent? Did they send you? Are you a spy?" Although Rose knew this likely wasn't true, she was still wary of clan cats.

I do not know where I come from, I do not know where I'm going rilian sat down and stared down her snout at the other cat, for a moment. then she tilted her head down and stared straight into her eyes. "if i was a spy, wouldn't i be a little more sneaky," she asked, a bit sarcasticly. this cat seemed so full of hate, and in some ways, she gave rilian the creeps. the best thing to do was wipe off her rude comments.
a moment before responding, rilian had noted her strength. one day, she would be able to fight well, and rarely get hurt. when that day came, she could just attack the bad cats. she eyed the cat, was this cat one of those bad cats? I only know, that if I continue, I will not be able to return |

"...Alright then." Rose saw no need to question this she-cat any further. Whether she was lying or not, Rose wouldn't trust her, so it made no difference. She sheathed her claws, though she remained extremely alert and prepared to fight at any moment.
"So," Rose tipped her head to the side, analyzing Rilian with an unreadable expression, her tail twitching back and forth. "Why did you decide to leave IceClan? What's your story?" Her tone held an odd familiarity over the subject, and her pale eyes glinted knowingly in the dim night lighting.

I do not know where I come from, I do not know where I'm going rilian hesitated, before asking, "how do i know i can trust you?" she sighed, there was probably no way of getting around it anyway. so, waiting for a response from the other cat, she sat calmly. when the cat answered, she would tell it, though she knew nothing of the other cat. so she added, "if i tell you mt story, you have to at least tell me your name and where your from." I only know, that if I continue, I will not be able to return |

"You can. I'm not evil, if I were, I'd have killed you for sport." Rose said calmly. Although her status might rise if she had more murders under her belt, there wasn't much to brag about killing an apprentice who posed no threat. "My name is Rose." She added with a flick of her tail.

I do not know where I come from, I do not know where I'm going rose, well she kinda is a thorn in the pawpad right now, rilian thought as she sighed. she began to start her story, but she would keep it short as not to give away too much. she would only give parts that didn't really matter.
"yes, i was an iceclanner. i felt a calling to the unknown, and i didn't like being cooped up in my clan. i hate boundaries more than anything. i don't like border rules. so, i left."
it was so blunt. she stared steadily at Rose, wondering what she thought. I only know, that if I continue, I will not be able to return |

Rose narrowed her eyes, taking a few moments to think. That was an extremely simple explanation, but she didn't think that Rilian was lying. It was a shame that IceClan kept losing cats, but it wasn't as if Rose missed her home, she understood not feeling at home there. "..Very well. I suppose you've earned yourself my story."
She took a deep breath, remembering what Skyfire had told her. "I came from IceClan as well. My name was Roselight, and I was in love with a cat named Cloudspirit, who had taken another mate. During my warrior assessment, I fell into the river and hit my head, losing all of my memories. I tried to keep living a normal life, but I was surrounded by strangers, and it no longer felt like home.. So I left, to start a new life."

I do not know where I come from, I do not know where I'm going rilian sat quietly, taking in her story. it seemed like it was something she wouldn't tell most cats, and rilian felt honored, in some weird way. it was super cool to her, though, that they were both from iceclan. fallenstar had told her, as she left, that if she ever would want to return, they would welcome her gladly. she wondered why.
a question popped into rilian's head when rose mentioned that she lost all her memories. but, she quickly figured that someone had told her to try to restore the loss. rilian felt sorry for her, but she was probably sick of being told 'im sorry.'
"could i do something to help?" rilian asked instead. that probably was also one of those, 'oh pity, let me help you,' responses that rose wouldn't like much. rilian waited to be snapped at. I only know, that if I continue, I will not be able to return |

"I don't need any help." Rose said with a shrug. Of course Rilian didn't understand her, no cat did. "As far as I'm concerned, I'm happier here than I ever was in IceClan. I don't want to go back." Rose didn't bring up that she wanted to reform DeathClan and become it's leader, it wasn't relevant to the conversation.
Rose licked her cream-colored chest. "Even if I did have my memories, IceClan is completely different. Is Wildstar even still leader?"

I do not know where I come from, I do not know where I'm going rilian shook her head. funny that they should mention leaders. "no, it's fallenstar now. he's slightly... inexperienced? but he's catching on, and he's good. i guess you might call him weak. he told me that if i ever went back, i would be welcomed, though going back would mean facing the ones i said goodbye to, and it would be... awkward."
no, if she was ever to go back, she wouldn't for a very, very long time. I only know, that if I continue, I will not be able to return |

Fallenstar. The name meant nothing to Rose. She assumed that he had been Wildstar's deputy, but she couldn't remember. Not that it mattered, since IceClan was no longer her home, and she no longer had to memorize those boring details.
"Well, what are you going to do here?" Rose tilted her head. "Live as a loner, or join DeathClan?" Rose personally didn't think that the young she-cat was cut out for DeathClan.

I do not know where I come from, I do not know where I'm going "i want to live my life before i ever join a clan again. if i joined deathclan, i'd be in the same place i was in when i was in iceclan." rilian knew she wouldn't fit in with the tough cats that live there, either. I only know, that if I continue, I will not be able to return |

Rose shrugged. "DeathClan isn't anything like the other clans.. But I still don't think you would fit in here." As the name implied, there was a lot of death, and Rose didn't think that Rilian was compatible with such a lifestyle.
"I want to lead DeathClan." Rose said, suddenly. "I think it would give some purpose to my life."
